Setup

  1. Get a long flat table capable of taking some weight and clear it. Note: the table must by sturdy enough not to bow under weight
  2. Loosen the wind nut on the rear right of the optic section frame
  3. Slot the bar section in the main frame into the optic frame and tighten the wing nut
  4. Remove the end panel on the right part of the frame using a hex key
  5. Attach the platform rail:
    1. Loosen rail attachment nuts (they don't need to be completely removed). Note: The rail nuts are difficult to get hold of, and we don't have spares. Take care not to lose them!
    2. Get the 2m Maker Slide and slide it on the rail nuts. The double slot goes against the front of BarBot, the single slot on the front goes at the top
    3. Attach the limit switch to the end of the maker slide
    4. Thread the drive belt through the platform drive wheels
    5. Slide the belt attachment nuts on the underside of the rail, securing one end first
    6. Pull the belt right and secure and tighten at the other end of the rail
  6. Mount optic clamps on left side of machine (requires large Philips driver and small socket / spanner)
  7. Mount the red mixer taps on the frame (2 wing nuts)
  8. Mount the dashers:
    1. Screw the dasher stand into the main box (4 wood screws)
    2. Place the dasher pump enclosure in the hole in the top of the main frame
    3. Place the three dasher bottles in the stand (club mat bottles with holes in the bottom)
  9. Mount the grenadine tap (2 wood screws)
  10. Put the rear conveyor / slice dispenser stand behind the tap
  11. Rest the slice dispenser and cherry conveyor on the stand (rear) and tap mounting (front)
  12. Mount the stirrer/umbrella dropper (2 wood screws)
  13. Mount the grenadine syringe dispenser (two wing nuts)


  1. Power up & dispenser test
    1. Ensure correct connectors are plugged into correct control box sockets
    2. DO NOT disconnect the platform from the control box while the control box is powered
  2. Cleaning cycle
